Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer for Women, Transparent, , 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

This is the first primer Ive ever used, and it is absolutely perfect. I never used primers before because I thought they would just make my face look cakey, but this couldnt be more opposite. My face felt light all day, and even after 6 hours of wearing it and working a busy grocery store job, it remained perfectly smooth. And to those saying its fake, you probably got a bad batch; this came in the original Smashbox packaging.

Ive had this for several months now and while I do notice a slight difference in how my makeup goes on, its not enough that I have to put it on every day. It does leave my skin feeling softer, so I do like that.

This clear primer helped me apply my foundation so I dont look made up. Id given up on foundations because of my 59 year old skin. However, this primer did the trick. After an evening with friends, I had little if any foundation caught in my wrinkles. I dont know how well it lasts over a day, but I am aiming to find out.

Love it was a little unhappy when I ordered it on prime and received it in 6 days I almost had to but it in a store because I ran out .

Lightweight and feels great om my skin.

I have been using Smashbox Photo Finish makeup primer for several years now. I am 59 years old, with aging skin. This primer is the best I have ever tried. It goes on like silk, feels like silk, and my makeup goes on like silk. It lasts all day, and my skin actually glows. Prior to finding Smashbox Photo Finish, I had used other primers that left a Sticky or goopy feel to my skin, and my makeup was kind of hard to apply. This stuff is magic. I see that Smashbox now has other versions of this- pore reducing, firming, color correction, etc. But for me- this is my go-to primer and will forever be. I love this primer and would/have recommended it to several others. Give it a try- you wont go back to trying to apply makeup to bare skin.

I like this primer very much. Some say its watery therefore fake. I will admit, it came out kind of watery the first 2 times I used it but after that it had come out as thick as other Smashbox primers that I have purchase at sticks & brick stores. I do not think the product I bought was fake. Update: Bought this product again (through Amazon, same seller) & have decreased rating from 4 stars to 2, as this time I do question if this is a fake product. Each time I try to use this primer, when I start putting foundation over the primer I start getting little tiny pills (balls) all over my face. Yuk! It is not that I am using too much primer as I have tried washing my face, starting all over again, using a different Smashbox primer & I do not have these issues. Its either a fake or a batch issue. Probably should have changed it to 1 star, but as I have used Smashbox primers for years and never had this issue, it is possible ,as previous tube seemed okay, that it may be a batch issue and not an issue of it being a fake product..

This lasts forever because you only need a very little. A little goes a long way! This keeps my oily pores in check. My makeup stays on twice as long as it did before I started to use this!

One of the least greasy of those I have tried. Goes on nicely. Would buy again. Note: I usually use Arbonne, but it costs too much - especially with shipping. This is the closest that I could find. It is a little oilier than Arbonne, but does a good job. I do not have oily skin so it does not affect me in any way. It absorbs into your skin in a couple minutes and there is no sheen.

I have purchased the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer before from Sephora. Its supposed to be a milky white liquid. I bought this because it said that it was the same formula, just different packaging. Folks, that is a lie. This was basically a clear oil and does not behave like a primer. At first I thought maybe I should have shaken it more, but I shook it a lot, and it was still a clear oil. So, then I thought that maybe the whole original formula thing was a lie, and I contacted the Sephora customer service people to ask if the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer they are currently selling is the same milky white substance as before, and they confirmed that yes, it is. This means either a) I received a defective product, or b) this is some kind of counterfeit scam on Amazon. The moral of this story is: DO NOT BUY THIS, GO TO SEPHORA INSTEAD.
